HSO's Members Smart "Cell" Phone Apps & App Reviews

Is there an android phone app for lake maps and or gps for fishing?

I'll have to check that one out.

I've been using the NWS Mobile site which is been improved over the last year or so including radar that works without the need for Flash.

I've never become a fan of the mobile site for NWS. It's just too clunky for my tastes, you need to scroll too much to get the quick info.

I tried the NOAA Free app but that is about as primitive as I've seen as far as weather apps go. No pinch to zoom, not easy to switch between current radar and animated radar, and just not very handy overall.

Have you checked the NWS Mobile version lately? I don't notice that much scrolling required.

I like it because it's primitive.

If I want to see the details for a specific day, I just touch that day and the forecast pops up.

If there's a Haz Weather Outlook for a day, or other notice, there's an "!" on that day, you touch the day and the warning pops up.

I don't use pinch to zoom on the radar, I like to see the whole state and how the storm is progressing.

You can set the radar to auto animate when it loads. I never look at a current still of a radar.

The only thing I wish it had was a way to move to a radar by Fargo, or Aberdeen, or Souix Falls so you could see the storm as it was coming into our area.

You can also set up on the menu where it'll list a link to the actual NWS HSOforum, so you click that and it'll pull up the actual site for whatever location you're at.

To each their own.

Does Clash of Clans count?

I've been using Cozy for a while and it works great for us. Allows my wife and I to share calendars and shopping lists.
